OpenAI Just Released ChatGPT Agent, Its Most Powerful Agent Yet
Isa Fulford, Casey Chu, and Edward Sun from OpenAI's ChatGPT agent team reveal how they combined Deep Research and Operator into a single, powerful AI agent that can perform complex, multi-step tasks lasting up to an hour. By giving the model access to a virtual computer with text browsing, visual browsing, terminal access, and API integrations—all with shared state—they've created what may be the first truly embodied AI assistant. The team discusses their reinforcement learning approach, safety mitigations for real-world actions, and how small teams can build transformative AI products through close research-applied collaboration.
